Reuse shop opens third branch for unwanted Christmas gifts
Ms Bloomfield said she hoped people changed some of their shopping habits at Christmas to reduce their carbon footprint
Avonmouth reuse shop volunteer, Barbara Bloomfield, bought all of her presents from the shop for £15 and said she was passionate about "not buying things I don't need"."Every Christmas we are giving millions of pounds of unwanted gifts. "Really, there is something you can do about that, you can just make something for people and people love it."Before you do anything, look through the lens of changing your rituals.
"We have used a Christmas tree in a pot for ten years now and that's saved us quite a lot of money every year."
